She
recently donated $100K to a Thai charity for injured elephants and it
seems generous Miranda Kerr is fully jumping onto the philanthropy
bandwagon.
The Australian supermodel took to Instagram on
Saturday to urge her Instagram fans to place generous bids in a charity
auction so that a six-month-old baby can receive life-saving heart
surgery.
Little
Muhammad Aigubov, who lives in the Russian city of Makhachkala, suffers
from a heart defect which has left part of the organ undeveloped and
his plight has touched the 32-year-old model.
A plea to fans: Miranda Kerr has urged
her Instagram followers to dig deep and help raise $21,700 so six-month
old Russian baby Muhammad Aigubov can undergo life saving heart surgery

'Taking to
Instagram on Saturday, she said in a short video clip:'I'm joining Lena
Perminova and Louis Vuitton in an Instagram auction to help raise the
much needed funds for a 6-month old baby boy who desperately needs
life-saving heart surgery...'
Miranda has offered to personally thank bidders after the Louis Vuitton show in Paris for their generous bids.
The
life saving procedure will cost $21,700 and will be undertaken by
German specialist doctor Victor Hraske, who has already operated twice
on the sick boy.

Joining
Miranda in the appeal is fellow catwalk queen Lena Perminova, founder
of the first global Instagram charity auction project, and luxury brand
Louis Vuitton.
The
highest bidder in Muhammad's charity appeal will receive a ticket to
Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2016 runway show in Paris as well as have
the opportunity to meet Miranda herself backstage.
Skincare
mogul Miranda will also present the highest bidder with a gift bag
brimming with products from her cosmetics line, Kora Organics.

With
an Instagram reach of 7.2 followers, it is likely that Miranda's online
plea will greatly increase the number of entries into the auction.
Two
days ago, the former Victoria's Secret angel once again coaxed her
Instagram followers into charitable action by asking them to donate to
Sydney Children's Hospital in Sydney's suburb of Randwick.
The
mother-of-one, who was formerly married to English actor Orlando Bloom,
is currently dating billionaire Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel.
